Marjorie Taylor Greene says she was 'naive' for believing Trump is man of the people

[Yo_Mama_Been_Loggin]

Marjorie Taylor Greene, now just days away from stepping down as a congresswoman for Georgia, has said in her latest mea culpa interview that she “was just so naive” for believing that Donald Trump was a man of the people.

In a lengthy interview with the New York Times that examines her break with the president after years of devotion, Greene explained that a series of minor ruptures with the president culminated in a total breach after conservative influencer Charlie Kirk was killed in September.

The third-term Georgia congresswoman said she was watching Kirk’s memorial service on TV when his widow Erika said she forgave her husband’s killer. But then Trump took the stage to say that unlike Kirk – “a missionary with a noble spirit” who did not “hate” his opponents, Trump said he disagreed.

“I hate my opponent, and I don’t want the best for them,” Trump said.

MGT you weren't naive, you were downright stupid.

I've known about Trump since I read "Art of the Deal" nearly forty years ago. I learned it was all bullshit when his daddy had to bail out his casino.

4. Whoa, let me count the ways.......

if shithole ran again, she would vote for him.

Enough of this gaslighting.

6. I think co-conspirator would be more accurate than "naive"

She didn't receive the payments she thought due to her for her troubles and so throws as many public tantrums as she can manage to get aired in an effort to rehab and polish the turd that is the past six years of her actions and behavior..

7. Mark LEVIN is calling her a nut useful idiot. Tiny step when one wingnut recognizes one is a nut.

Will be real progress when more of them realize it's a job description for all of them.

8. I wish people would actually learn English words.

"Naive" means showing a lack of experience, wisdom, or judgement, she is MIND-NUMBINGLY STUPID, like many MAGAts! 'Stupid' and 'naive' are not synonyms!

9. No one is that naive

Not anyone with her financial worth from private sector sources who then entered politics. At best, she could say she was willfully ignorant, but the reality is hitching her wagon to Trump's star was politically expedient.

Trump isn't the one who made her act uncivil, to lie and badger people the way she did.
